The Florida Criminal Justice Executive Institute announces the graduation today of 33 first-line supervisors from the Florida Leadership Academy. The graduates represent criminal justice agencies from across the state and serve in leadership roles within their agencies.
 
Seminar participants met for four weeks at the Eastern Florida State College Institute of Public Safety in Melbourne, Fla. Graduates learned skills necessary to support the needs of their agencies and the community as they prepare for future challenges.
 
The goal of the Florida Leadership Academy is to prepare supervisors in criminal justice organizations to exemplify the character and integrity expected of criminal justice professionals and to examine the various components necessary for efficient leadership.
 
The Florida Criminal Justice Executive Institute, established within the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and affiliated with the State University System, was established in 1990 by the Florida Legislature in recognition of the need for an innovative and multi-faceted approach to the education and training of criminal justice professionals.
